Where to find Citrine Prime Relics in Warframe
This guide details where to farm all four Citrine Prime Relics in Warframe: Lith S19 (Systems) at Hepit, Meso C11 (Blueprint) at Io, Neo C11 (Chassis) at Xini or Kappa, and Axi C12 (Neuroptics) at Apollo Disruption. Sinc…
The Setup: Why Citrine Prime Relics Are Back in Demand
Citrine Prime, one of Warframe's most beloved support frames, arrived alongside the Iceblades of Narin update. As with every Prime release, her four components are scattered across different Relic tiers, so veterans and newcomers alike are heading back into the Void with their Void Traces ready.
Here's the full list, based on the official drop tables:
- Lith S19 — Systems (Uncommon)
- Meso C11 — Blueprint (Rare)
- Neo C11 — Chassis (Common)
- Axi C12 — Neuroptics (Rare)
The catch this time: both the Meso and Axi parts sit in the Rare slot. A Radiant Relic gives you a 10 percent chance at the gold-tier reward, but that drops to just 2 percent if you run the Relic unrefined — so refining matters more than usual for this frame.
The Farming Route, Tier by Tier
Lith S19 (Systems): Hepit in the Void is the classic mindless farm — an easy Capture you can clear in about a minute, with a 6.67 percent chance at an S19 per run. Olympus on Mars (Disruption) is the alternative, offering a 14.29 percent chance on rotations A and B.
Meso C11 (Blueprint): The recent Defense mission changes made Io on Jupiter a stronger pick than before: run two waves for a 12.5 percent chance each, then extract. Ukko in the Void splits its reward pool between Meso, Neo, and Aya, making it a way to mix things up. Sticking around on Olympus for rotation C also gives a 14.29 percent shot, as does rotation A of Kappa on Sedna (Disruption).
Neo C11 (Chassis): Xini on Eris (Interception) and Kappa on Sedna double-dip with other Relics. Kappa has a 14.29 percent chance on rotation B — you can target it by resetting every two waves or letting Conduits die from wave three onward. Ukko offers a 6.25 percent chance at either the Meso or Neo Relic, and as another minute-long mission, it's worth a few stops.
Axi C12 (Neuroptics): Usually the toughest tier, but Apollo on Lua (Disruption) is the most reliable route: 14.29 percent on rotations A and B, dipping slightly to 12.42 percent on rotation C.
Free Relics You Might Be Overlooking
If your Syndicate Standing is maxed out, spend it on Relic Packs from your two main factions. Each pack costs 20,000 Standing and contains three random current Relics or Aya — and they can include Citrine Prime Relics. The original guide's author pulled a free Meso C11 and Neo C11 this way, so it's worth checking before you grind.
Where This Leaves You
Digital Extremes can always adjust drop tables or add new sources, but the methods above work for any Relic of the same type — so nothing here goes to waste once this Prime Access window shifts. Prioritize refining your Meso and Axi Relics to Radiant before opening, since those Rare slots are where Citrine Prime will cost you the most time.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Which relics contain Citrine Prime's parts?
Citrine Prime's components are spread across four relics: Lith S19 (Systems, Uncommon), Meso C11 (Blueprint, Rare), Neo C11 (Chassis, Common), and Axi C12 (Neuroptics, Rare). Note that both the Meso and Axi parts sit in the Rare slot, so refining matters more than usual.
Where should I farm Lith S19 relics?
Hepit in the Void is the classic easy farm — a Capture mission that takes about a minute, with a 6.67% chance per run. Alternatively, Olympus on Mars (Disruption) offers a 14.29% chance on rotations A and B.
How can I get the Axi C12 (Neuroptics) relic?
The most reliable route is Apollo on Lua (Disruption), which gives a 14.29% chance on rotations A and B, dropping slightly to 12.42% on rotation C.
Should I refine my relics before opening them?
Yes — especially for Meso and Axi relics. A Radiant Relic gives a 10% chance at the Rare reward, compared to just 2% if the relic is left unrefined, so refining makes a big difference for Citrine Prime.
Is there a way to get Citrine Prime relics for free?
Yes. If your Syndicate Standing is maxed out, spend 20,000 Standing on Relic Packs from your two main factions. Each pack contains three random current relics or Aya, and they can include Citrine Prime relics.
